Would agree with no PKs, but unless this team is peaking at the right time, it has been deficient in netting goals with the time of possession and time in the oppositions goal area. As the competition gets tougher, and the scores even closer, the reality of PKs does shake it ugly head.

For anyone thinking of travel to Happy Valley, it’s a football weekend and hotel rooms are pretty much all $600 a night with a 2 night minimum. Great planning, NCAA.

Having just complained about ODU's SAD, let me now complain about ours... It's the NCAA Tournament, can we please not make obvious mistakes in the official box score? If you go by what was put down in the scorer's book, Alex Bair never played in this game. Instead, she entered and left at the exact same moment in time, violating the laws of physics: Disrespectful toward a hardworking player who played a small but meaningful role when pressed into emergency service.

That's definitely ... one way to describe getting outshot 16-0 in the second half.

Soccer's a funny game. You can control possession, look technically better, have a serious advantage in set pieces, etc., etc....And you can lose the game if you don't net the ball, while your opponent gets you on a long ball breakaway. It's a cruel game Coach Hind, but after playing a good first half you were whipsawed in the second half and the OT. I think he should look for better word selection to say his team was good in a losing situation.

45 minutes, no goals. Shots are 6(4)-2(0) in favor of the Billikens. The only shot to beat a keeper came when Maja Lardner buried a rebound in 35'. Sadly, she was (correctly, it appeared) ruled offside on the play.

Billikens get the opener in the first minute of the second half, with a cross from their right finds an attacker before Augur can get there. Hoyas have 32' left to find an equalizer.

Under 12 minutes to play, still down 2-0.

No joy on the corner kick in the last half minute, 2-1 F/T. Congrats to St. Louis on a well-played game. Good shape and their pace gave us problems. That second goal coming when it did (61') was the real killer.
Disappointing end, but another overall quality season. Undefeated in the Big East, regular season co-champs, and tournament champions, plus an NCAA win.
